Warman's Indian Club System 

ONE CLUB 

GENERAL DIRECTIONS 
Grasp the club firmly, but easily, the little finger rest- 
ing against the knob. As these exercises are intended 
for physical development and not for the purpose of dis- 
playing ^'fincy" or ''snake movements '—very good 
in their way and for the purpose designed— it is advis- 
able and necessary that the knob of the club should never 
slip to the thumb and forefinger; neither should the 
thumb extend up the handle of the club. Place the idle 
arm at the side, with the back of the fingers resting 
gracefully against the side of the body. Do not allow 
the club to wabble. When a movement is made requir- 
ing the arm to be extended, hold the club firmly, yet as 
gracefully as if it were a part of that extension. Imagine 
that you are standing between perfect circles at ri^rht 
angles with each other-large and small on either side- 
large in front and small behind. The clubs should fol- 
low these lines perfectly in all the small circles and 
sweeps. 

Be satisfied to practice with one club until all the 
single moves have been mastered; the double moves 
will then be more readily attained, as they are combina- 
tions of the single. 



INDIAN CLUBS. 



Practice each move separately, as shown in the illus- 
tration of the same. Learn the iianie of each move, and 
it will be helpful, inasmuch as it is suggestive. 

Do not be ambitious to handle heavy clubs. Judicious 
practice regularly taken with a pair of light clubs will 
prove more benetlcial than spasmodic or overwork with 
heavy clubs. Stand firmly, but not rigidly. Place the 
feet in as graceful and comfortable a position as the 
nature of the movement will allow. Do not quite touch 
the heels, nor place them too far apart, when facing an 
audience. 

SIZE OF CLUBS. 

I have observed that, as a general thing, a lady of 
average strength can use a three-pound club with ease; 
a gentleman a five-pound club. These are sufficiently 
heavy for beginners, especially when taking my entire 
system of exercises, giving each movement three times. 
Too light a club is as objectionable as too heavy a club, 
but in a different degree. 



INDIAN CLUBS. 




POSITION. 



6 INDIAN CLUBS. 

Place the club in the hands, as shown in position. 
Toss the club a little higher than the head, placing the 
left hand against the side of the body, the back of the 
fingers touching the body. Pass the right hand back of 
the head at the right side, and allow the club to drop 
and form a complete small circle back of the head, which 
I designate as the small inward. Follow this movement 
v/ith a full sweep of the arm in front toward the left 
side, bringing it up on the right to make two small 
inwards, etc., thus forming Fig. i.

Change— By taking the club again in the right hand 
as if to make a fourth outward, but instead make a small 
inward, passing it quickly behind the head to the left 
hand, which should be in position to grasp the club 
without stopping its motion. It will drop into a small 
outward circle with the left hand. Sweep it out and 
front, pass it again to the right hand.

INDIAN CI.UBS. 



Change — By extending the arm at the completion of 
the third small circle^ as if to make a large side circle; 
then, just as the club is ready to sweep down, turn the 
body quickly back to the front position. Sweep the 
club in front, make a small outward with the left hand, 
and sweep it to the right. Place the right hand as shown 
in the illustration, and make small circles outside and 
inside the arm, keeping the arm extended as much as 
possible, and keep the club as near the arm as possible. 
Keep the little linger next to the knob.

until the hand is straight with the shoulder, as seen in 
the illustration. Grasp the club firmly, and hold it in 
an upright position. Without raising, lowering or bend- 
ing the arm the slightest, lay the club on the arm, then 
raise it and extend it till it is perfectly straight. Through- 
out this entire exercise the arm should not move nor 
bend at the elbow.

34 INDIAN CLUBS. 

CONDENSED FOR CONVENIENCE 

ONE CLUB 

Presupposing that the pupil has become famih'ar v/ith 
all the movements; i.e., with the necessary details in 
the learning of each, 1 present herewith my system of 
exercises in a condensed form, as a reminder to the indi- 
vidual, or as an aid to the teacher in calling the move- 
ments to a class. 

The order of exercises, and the number of movements 
of each, are the same as 1 use for my classes in their 
public exhibitions. 

On the rostrum, at the close of my lecture on '"Scien- 
iific Physical Training, or the Care of the Body, " \ aim 
not only to entertain, but to exemplify the principles set 
forth in my lecture, by giving, in appropriate costume, 
my entire system of Indian-club exercises — the clubs 
weighing eight pounds each. 

As a rule, 1 do not advocate the use of heavy clubs; 
but these, to me, do not seem heavy, having had them 
in use — privately and publicly — for thirty years. 

My plan of work is on the principle of " cumulative 
strength" — the only /r//f- principle. Hence I advise the 
use of one club throughout the entire system of exercises; 
then rest a moment before swinging the two clubs. 
Rest again, if desirable, at the close of the ''windmill," 
before concluding the entire system. 

By so doing I fmd no difficulty in closing the evening's 
entertainment by a few movements with both clubs 
(i6 lbs.) in one hand.

take the place of exhaustion. Be patient in well doing.

INDIAN CLUBSc 37 



TWO CLUBS 



GENERAL DIRECTIONS 

When the clubs fall parallel in the same direction, they 
should drop simultaneously, and should not be separated 
from each other any greater distance during the move- 
ment than when the movement began. 

With the single exception of a "follow" movement 
(the windmill, Fig. 12) both clubs should drop with 
the same impulse, even though they are making differ- 
ent movements. The slightest variation from this rule 
will destroy the gracefulness and beauty of the swinging. 

When facing front, avoid turning the body from side 
to side, except in Fig. i. Practice before a mirror, in 
order that every movement of the club may be seen 
while facing front. This will teach one to look at his 
audience, instead of turning his head and watching the 
clubs. Master your clubs instead of allowing them to 
master you. 



38 



INDIAN CLUBS. 



Take position by pointing the two clubs to the left, 
as shown in the illustration. Keep the palms of the 
hands up in order to steady the clubs. Toss both clubs 
up and out, sweeping them down in front of the body, 
and bringing them up to left side. Avoid angles. Toss 
them out and bringthem in as if describing an arc of a circle. 

N. B. — To take up the clubs artistically — which can- 
not be done until all of the movements shall have been 
learned — see page 68.

39 



Change — By halting at position and making a small 
outward with the left, and a full sweep with the right; 
both clubs dropping simultaneously. The club in the 
right hand makes a large revolution, while the one in 
the left makes a small one.

sition of point right. Make a small outward with the 
right hand, and a full sweep with the left, both clubs 
falling simultaneously.

Change — By sweeping the clubs back to the left side 
and halting them a second, making a small outward 
with the left and a full sweep with the right. Sweep 
them both to the right side and halt only long enough 
to make a small outward with the right and a full sweep 
with the left; thus alternating the movement from side 
to side.

Change — By sweeping the clubs back to the left side 
and halting the club in the left hand at poise i ; but pass 
the right club up in front of the face and push it back of 
the head, letting it drop as if to make an inward. In- 
stead of making a small circle, push it to the right, as 
shown in the illustration. As the right club drops be- 
hind the head, the left club sweeps in front toward the 
right side. The clubs now change position — the left 
club is pushed back of the head, and the light club 
sweeps in front.

to poise 2] and drop it in front of the face. While this 
is being done the right club sweeps back on the circle

INDIAN CLUBS. 



Change — By halting the clubs a second when they are 
on the left side. Turn the left club to an outward, 
while the right club passes down in front and sweeps up 
on the right side, making a small inward and push — as 
in the backward drop. It then sweeps down in front 
and is pushed back of the head, making a backward 
drop and push, while the left club is making an out- 
ward.

(Tliree times each). 



INDIAN CLUBS. 



45 



Change — By converting the backward push and drop 
of the right club, to an outward and sweep. When the 
club is pushed right the third time, instead of dropping 
it in front, turn it immediately to an outward. The left 
club makes no change but continues making the out- 
ward and sweep.

Outward left — Sweep, Outward right — Sweep. 



46 



INDIAN CLUBS. 



Change — By halting both clubs a second, just as the 
right club closes the third small outward. Reverse it 
to a small inward, followed by a full sweep. The left 
club also reverses its movement, making a sweep, fol-

Change — By making a small outward left, and a full 
sweep with the right; i.e., what is known as small left, 
large right. Sweep both clubs in front at the same 
time, and bring them up on the right side, and sweep 
them up, over and back of the head, making small 
circles, both clubs parallel, as shown in the illustration.

Change— By making an extra small circle with the 
left hand while the right sweeps in front. The right 
hand passes back to a small inward, while the left hand 
sweeps in front. By the time the small inward is fin- 
ished with the right hand, the left will be in place for a 
small outward. The clubs now join, and make another 
double circle back of the head.

Change — By pushing the left club up and out from the 
shoulder, while hastening the right in front, and making 
a full sweep, till — without halting either club — the right 
club is exactly opposite the left, just after the right 
passes the feet —both arms extended. The clubs should 
now follow each other, but neither caich the other. 
The right hand makes an inward and sweep, while the 
left is following with a sweep and outward.

while the right makes a large side-circle. Then make a 
small side-circle with the light hand, and a lai^ge side-

same impulse — the one making a large circle, while the 
other makes a small.

INDIAN CLUBS. . 65 

Change — By checking the large side-circle, with the 
right hand, just as the club has passed a short distance 
back of the feet. At the same time extend the left arm 
and club up and forward — pointing exactly opposite the 
right. Slip the right foot a little back of the left — the 
momentum of the club on the downward sweep will 
aid you. With a quick but strong impulse sweep both 
clubs at once in opposite directions — the left arm makes 
a large circle forward, the right arm a large circle re- 
versed. Keep the arms unbent and close to the body.

Change — By halting the right club as it sweeps up in 
front on the third reverse. Let it fall to a small side. 
Check the left club as it passes the feet the third time, 
and bring it up in front with a sweep. It will reach 
there in time to join the right club as it makes a second 
small side-circle. Join them (both making a small side), 
sweep them to the front (turning the body front), and 
pass them back of the head, making small circles back, 
as shown by position of clubs in Fig. lo. Pass directly 
to the ■iviudmilU and add small side alternates (Fig. 22).

THE FINISH 

Halt the right club when completing the third small 
alternate, till the left club comes up on the third small 
circle. Sweep both in front with one impulse, and pass 
them back over the head to a small circle, as shown by 
the position of the clubs in Fig. lo. Follow this with a 
small side-circle (Fig. 21). Pass the clubs gracefully 
under the arms (Fig. 24). Keep them there till you 
have made your bow and exit. 




68 INDIAN CLUBS. 



TWO CLUBS 

TO TAKE UP BOTH CLUBS ARTISTICALLY 

Face front. Stand between the clubs. Fold the 
arms. With the first note of the music unfold the arms, 
raise the hands above the head and sweep them down 
to the side. Bend the body, take the clubs with suffi- 
cient impulse to sweep them a short distance back. 
Straighten the body, and this will give the clubs an im- 
pulse forward. Sweep them up high enough in front 
to make small side-circles (Fig. 17), then small circles 
back of the head (Fig. 10), then, turning the body 
quickly to the left, make small side-circles (Fig. 21), 
halting them in position of Fig. i — two clubs. 

N. B. — In class exhibitions it would be well to have 
the pupils leave the platform at the close of the 6>//^-club 
exercise, and when they return, carry the two clubs 
under the arms, as shown in Fig. 24. At a signal from 
the music toss the clubs in front to the same position as 
when taking them up from the floor.

THE LAFLIN FRICTION ROWING MACHINE. 

THR-siiwllest, simplest .ind most pr;iclic:il Rowing Machine yet introduced. The means used" tt> produce.'ni 
resisl.ince is ;i simple friction clutch, which takes instant hold at the commencement of the stroke and holds 
the pressure till its completion, but instnmly releases it, precisely as in a boat. It is quickly taken apart 
without loosening any bolts or screws, and can be set away in a closet or put under the bed, occupying but a 
small space— .1 most valuable feature for home use. Each machine is adjustable to any amount of friction, and has 
.m indicator so graduated thai one revolution is equivalent to loo strokes, or one-third of a mile, based on Hanlan"s 
time of thirty-two strokes per minute. Handsomely built from .ash and maple, iron work japanned, and every

SPALDING'S PNEUMATIC ROWING HACHINE. 

Imit.Ues rowing perfectly, ihe stroke being hard at the beginning, easy at tht 
ifiiiish, and recovery unassisted. The cylinder, made of brass, having a closed 
end and highly polished interior, is placed in front of the oarsman, as shown in 
the illustration. The piston rod of the cylinder is connected with the short oars 
by me.ins of a whiffletree and connecting rods. The act of taking a stroke 
draws the piston away from the closed end of the cylinder, producing a 
vacuum, and the pressure of the atmosphere upon the piston simulates the 
resistance that is afforded by the water in rowing a boat.

SPALDING'S MOUNE PLATFORM 





THE ffiost delightfully exhilarating indoor exercise is unquestionably that of vigorously punching a .light, 
air-intiated bag against a reliable responsive disc, it has, unfortunately, been deterred from occupying 
its proper place as a home exerciser by the unwieldy size, weight and ge'neral 
unsuitability of the. ordinary gymnasium disc and its many useless substitutes. 

Our Molinc Platform is adjustable in height, readily attached to any wall, and ihe 
side bracket so arranged that it touches three rows of studding. 

Neat in design and handsomely finished, it in no way detracts from the appearance 
of the room, does not obstruct the light, and overcomes many other objectionable features 
cf the uJd style disc usually costing double the price: The arrangement of the face of 
the rinv permits of two speeds, slow and fast. The part designed for fast work is 
much quicker than the fastest work obtainable in any other platform. 

The changing of speeds is an entirely new and exclusive feature, and offers a wide 
range of clever combinations and scientific work. Each platform is supplied with 
everything necessary for attaching to wall, and crated ready for shipment.

lamb's wool and are exceedingly soft and 
pleasant to wear. They are full fashioned 
to body and arms and without seams of 
any kind. The various grades in our 
"Highest Quality" Sweaters are identical 
in quality and finish, the difference in 
price being due entirely to variations in 
weight. 





We call special attention to the " Inter-, 
.ollegiate " grade, which was originally 
m.ide by special order for the Yale foot 
ball eleven and are now exclusively used 
by all Intercollegiate players. They are 
considerably heavier than the heaviest 
sweater ever knitted and cannot be fur- 
nished by any other maker, as we have 
exclusive ccJntrol of this special weight.
